Your attention PLEASE! The printed schedule is WRONG! That's what happens when you trust HUMANS! Sometimes they HALLUCINATE!
'American Stories' should be 'Small Town Tall Tales Storytelling Show'.
And it starts at 3:00, NOT 2:00 - still tomorrow, Friday the 21st at the Rio Theater.
Come hear some tru-ish stories that would happen only in a small town - told by locals, live on stage!
Hosted by Helper's Poet Laureate - Olivia Dudding Rodriguez! Olivia Dudding Rodriguez
Now tell us... should we fire all the humans responsible for these egregious scheduling errors?
